the knicksblog.com said that Williams was just invited to camp and not signed, if anything he will on the d league team for NY with a small contract.

The point is that he is fighting a spot against Ewing Jr. who is actually signed for one year, a fan favorite, and was even spotted haning out with the players at the NY Liberty game so I really don't see a random guy come in and take Ewing's spot.

i always liked williams, and was disappointed bcuz of the way his career went down. 6'9'' with a 7'3'' wingspan. Forget little patty, williams is a defensive minded shot blocking forward who can mature into a defensive specialist. Patty Jr. needs to go to the d. league. Area 51 can definitely help our squad if we trade chandler away.

Disappointing though right? I thought same when I saw on real GM but was like wait that's not spelled right, then saw previous teams Dallas and Indy... other guy definitely a headcase and couldn't even latch on in Israel, but definitely an athletic force that might have had a chance to make the roster. Problem with 51 though is I feel like if he's not a main part of the rotation on a team he'll be disastrous and just a bad distraction.
